and as garrett o'boyle said, they're attempting to crush them and chill any other whistleblowers fromward and telling us about the wrongdoing in the justice department. maria: what are you going to do about it? we just spoke with kevin mccarthy about his call with christopher wray. wray is still running the fbi. you want to use the appropriations process to fix this. how will that fix thingsesome. >> well, in the end, money always gets people's attention. is so what we're going to have the to do is say, hey, fbi, you can't use the american tax dollars for this kind of activity. we've got to limit how they spend the money, maybe even limit them -- here's a great example. they want millions of collars, hundreds of millions of dollars in their construction budget for a new facility. no way. no way should we approve that. that should be a given. no way we're going to give you money for that. so we have to use the appropriation process. that's the power that the founders wanted the legislative branch and in particular the house where constitutionally every spending bill, every tax bill has

one of those whistleblowers you just heard from is garrett o'boyle. o'boyle is an army veteran who after high school enlisted in the infantry of the army and deployed to iraq and afghanistan where he served with enough distinction to earn the combat infantry badge. he went on to become a police officer and then an fbi agent where he swore to serve the nation and protect the constitution. but o'boyle like other agent you will hear from, decided he needed to speak out and blow the whistle on what he saw as the weaponization of the fbi. and for speaking out, they destroyed his life. >> in weaponize fashion the fbi allowed me to accept orders halfway across the country. they allowed us to sell my family's home. they ordered me to report to the new unit when our oldest daughter was two weeks old. then on my first day on the new assignment they suspended me rendering my family homeless. they refused to release our goods including our close for weeks. all i wanted to do was serve my country by stocking bad guys and protecting the innocent. to my chagrin, bad

that's changed and i think garrett o'boyle said it way better than i ever could, but that dynamic hasnged and we are on the other side of the looking glass where we, the people, are now afraid of our own government for very good reason. and it's sad. well, it's beyond sad. i have children, grandchildren. so does your audience. >> laura: yeah, well, got to take it down to the studs, do we not, and unfortunately reform the entire thing. george, we're going to definitely have you back, this isn't going away. thank you so much >> glad we got him back >> now the destroyers of democracy unveiled. have you heard of fix the court, right? that's the group behind attacks against supreme court justices bret kavanaugh and clarence thomas. now, they're managed by a group called arabella advisors, a liberal dark money group, and now they have a bit of an issue. while the washington examiner was investing why the group didn't file certain financial disclosure forms the group accidentally sent reporter gabe kaminsky a list of its own funders. whoops. among their benefit factors the founder of hewlett

one served in the military and served as a cop, garrett o'boyle. this is his testimony. >> do you believe the fbi has become political? >> i do. i think most people out in the field trying to avoid that politicization of the agency, which is good, but it has gotten to a point, it seems to me, it's like a cancerous point where the fbi has let itself become enveloped in weaponization that i don't know how to even begin to fix it. >> one group saw that weaponization work against them were catholics. the fbi field office in richmond put out memo that said extremists find catholic adherence and extremists would show interest in catholic congregation over the next 12 to 24 months leading up to the presidential election, interesting coin dense and called for the fbi to develop sources within congregations to obtain information about the folks. another group that saw weaponization turn on them, parents that attend school board meetings. steve friend worked for the fbi and found himself ridiculed because he was a parent who attended a school board meeting.

this is from fbi whistleblower garrett o'boyle. >> when citizens in the country get to the point where they can call the most powerful law enforcement agency in the world on their neighbor, just because they disagree with them, that's chilling to the first amendment rights of the people who are getting the fbi called on them. >> chilling, stuart, and nobody really knows the solution. what's your takeaway? >> well, to me, the solution is, i think there needs to be an overhaul of the executive side of the fbi. trace, the men and women, the street agents, they are the best of the best, not only are they the best in the united states, they are the best in the world. they literally put their lives on the line each and every day to keep us safe. but what has remained in place, the culture that's continued to permeate in fbi headquarters, that needs to be cleaned from the top down. >> trace: yes. i want to play this sound bite. this is from congresswoman linda sanchez from california and i'll get your final thoughts. >> make no mistake. this hearing is a vehicle to legitimize the events of ja

. >> garrett o'boyle says he expressed concern of wrongdoing in the fbi only to see his clearance suspendedboyle, why do you think they came down on you so darn hard? >> the agency as a whole want to get rid of people who simple don't tow the line they want. >> now, republicans are using these witnesses to try to drive home this idea to americans, this sort of dubious claim that the fbi, which, of course is known for being a conservative law enforcement body is full of liberals targeting conservatives across the country. and we've heard jim jordan is pushing this forward, so, you could bet this is not the last hearing on the subject. >> thank you, as always, democratic senator, dianne feinstein may be sicker than she. she has a new person by her side at all times, it's nancy pelosi's daughter and why that could be significant. plus, the hit tv show, "succession". >> i love you, but you are not serious people. >>> now, playing out in real life, the richest man in the world now must decide which of his five children will take over his luxury brand empire, it's an amazing story that you'll see

those are big numbers, that was fbi special agent and whistleblower, garrett o'boyle, with he me yesterdayl bent. this as we learn that the fbi is refusing to turn over the whistleblower document, tying then vice president joe biden to a criminal bribery scheme according to the house oversight committee chairman. that document says it all but they won't hand it over. joining me now is former acting u.s. attorney general , matt whitaker. what can the house oversight committee do, the republicans to get the document? the fbi will not release it and james comer says there's serious evidence in they that document. it's unclassified. >> correct. and it's good to be with you this morning. i think they need to go further. they need to demand it and i saw jim jordan on your show on sunday and his point is tying their funding, the fbi's funding to their cooperation with congress' oversight responsibilities and this document's important for a couple reasons. first of all, it does outline a potential bribery scheme involving vice president at the time joe biden but more importantly it goes to the bro
